Saving before it gets deleted... from the "Is Anyone Selling" thread:

So it this a sign of seller unrest? How can they not see this right before their eyes? How can anyone be complicit and condone Ray's behavior? These people are his customers. Can you imagine being treated this way at a store/restaurant or any other place you were a customer? You would not return and they would lose your business.
I don't get it.

For me to read some posts made by one of WP's biggest sellers, to see her unrest... not only did my jaw drop way down... for her to not be pumping sellers up and keeping motivation going... that's some major unrest going on I think.
I wonder if Ray will comply with the new laws in New York?

It seems like Ray will have to include his street address with his PO Box address. Just imagine the people who will want to go pay him a visit.
Ray

Platzki,
I am so thrilled, relieved and happy that Dusty is feeling better, and getting back some of the spunkiness you all love in him. I had you on my mind all morning. I hope you manage to get some well deserved rest, put your feet up and relax a little today.
Sending you another big hug and one for Dusty too.

Ditto for me - I was thinking about him through the day too. I was glad to see the good news when I came home.  Hope things continue to improve!

Thanks guys... it means so much to me...Â

Looks to me like some of them are catching on... have you noticed? Each deleted post is making them madder. Then KaRays explanation pisses them off even more...??Â
Keep copying the stuff from there over to here... this is one time I wish I could still get into the wp forums!!Â
 Man... I am tired... I can't believe I just said that! :o

Maybe we ought to send Ray a really big shovel with a red bow so he can just keep on digging himself deeper and deeper into the hole.

From the looks of some things going on and being said, not sure, but I'm thinking the hole's starting to get filled in with him in it?
Some interesting stats:
Stores that opened in Jan/07
Now closed - 45
Empty - 1
Still active - 9
Stores that opened in Feb/07
Now closed - 18
Empty - 1
Still Active - 8 (but Linda's Balloons could be leaving shortly)
Stores that opened in Mar/07
Now closed - 23
Empty - 1
Still Active - 9
Stores that opened in Apr/07
Now closed - 12
Empty - 1
Still Active - 13
Stores that opened in May/07
Now closed - 9
Empty - 4
Still Active - 23 (most can be found on the last 3 pages of the store listings)
Stores that opened in Jun/07 to date
Now closed - 0
Empty - 1 (hasn't listed anything yet)
Still Active - 4 (the highest listing count is 15. The rest are on page 9 or 10)
Guess this means there are a lot of impatient sellers dropping into WP that can't see the visionary sense of waiting for their just rewards by committing to the long haul... I LOVE IT!!! Business sense at it's keenest.
